-: Hi, I'm Randy Vance, from Boating magazine.
In a day when so many boat manufacturers
are abandoning the middle class boater,
Chaparral is expanding their line of 19 to 21 foot boats,
to recruit the new boater.
Now right now we're on the 19 SSI.
Here's what you get with it.
You get Chaparral's quality, you get the attention
to detail, the fine vinyl work
and heavy duty, stainless steel fittings,
like cup holders, cleats, drains in the floor
and a deck that drains to the bilge.
Now when you step aboard the 19 SSI, it seems bigger
than a 19 footer.
Chaparral accomplishes that several ways.
First, they give you three boarding options.
You've got a port step-over on the transom,
a starboard step-over, where you lift the cushions,
you can step through on non-skid,
without damaging the vinyl.
And you have a bow boarding area where you lift a cushion
and you have a safe step into the boat there.
Now on the AF transom swim pad, lift up those sides,
prop them up and you've got a lounge that either faces
to the port or to the starboard.
Now the boat is designed to accommodate 11 passengers.
You can seat two up here with a nice lounge facing forward,
stainless steel grab rails, stainless steel cup holders
and they even have their own stereo speakers.
There's plenty of storage under these seats as well,
to keep the deck organized and clear.
Now storage is extra important in a boat.
That helps keep everything organized.
That's why you've got these two compartments here
in the consoles.
You've got a large ski locker in the floor
and under the AF seats there are two dry storage areas
and a cooler.
Now in addition to Chaparral's reputation
for fine, fit and finish and quality construction,
you get the awesome styling that you see here.
I like the fact that there are three colors of upholstery,
contrasting stitching, multiple textures.
It's a luxury look and it comes to you
for a boat that's priced in a moderate range.
Now most of what you see on the 19 SSI is standard,
but here we've got the flip-up bolsters are options
and the wake board tower.
Now one of the things that we like the best
about the wake board towers, it's designed
to be easy to lower and raise for low bridges
and for storage.
Plus it gives you that great option for water sports
and pulling your friends on skis and boards.
One more toe point on the transom gives you a great option
for pulling tubes.
Now the SSI series also has available, a fishing package.
With it, you get the bow trolling motor,
you get an 18 gallon livewell, pedestal bucket seats
to fish from and a fish finder.
None of this luxury and comfort would be any fun at all
if this boat didn't have plenty of performance
and it gets that
from Mercury's 4.5 liter stern drive engine,
comes with power steering and a super smooth throttle
and shift to make the boat easy to handle.
It's got plenty of power to get your crew up on playing
and enjoying the breeze.
